casey from shreveport, louisiana spotted this on the coke machine in the office break room. she clarifies: “henry g.’s comment is in reference to the increase in price, not katie’s wanting more coke zero.”
meanwhile, breanna in l.a. saw this baffling note in a liquor store on the corner of hollywood and vine. (“did someone pee on it?” she asks.)

Coke cures incontinence?
Is there no limit to its power?

Does warm soda/pop cause incontinence?
Shouldn’t this sign be on the restroom doors?

This much thinking shouldn’t have to go into anything related to soda… my head hurts.

It looks like note #1 has been saved in My Documents. In case the costs rise again they can just handwrite in the new price.

If you really felt sorry for the incontinent, you would allow them to consume their warm, stolen drinks in the bathroom.

I wonder how badly they mangled “inconvenience” for the spell-checker to replace it with “incontinent”. Off to perform tests….
Results are in! First try: “inconvinent” comes up as “incontinent”. I’m a little disappointed. I thought I’d have to work a little harder than that.

Oh My God!!!! There is just way too much material here - where to begin, where to end, ooooh, my head is spinning.
And for some reason have unreasonable urge to pee!
I’ll leave this one up to you guys, you do it so very, very well.

If Coke Company repairs the cooler can we pee in it again?

I think because coke can eat away at rust on metal, it probably has the same effect on the detrusor muscle of the bladder…..hence the incontinence problem. Makes a lot of sense, really.

Coke Zero has splenda in it. Have you noticed how freaking crazy people are for those little yellow packets? Always shoveling them into their purses and pockets and asking for it by name. I think there’s really crack crystals in that stuff. No wonder Katie wants more, more, more.

note 1- two questions.
1. $1.25 for canned soda I agree that’s B.S. I’d strike.
2. Do they even make coke zero still?

I don’t see anywhere on that first note where it indicates that that’s the price for one drink. Between that and the mangled grammar (”…the price of drinks have gone up…”) I am going to assume that $125 will buy you that whole machine and all the drinks in it.
Seems like rather a bargain to me. Unless that machine dispenses warm soda, in which case you will blow all your profits on Depends.

So the price of drinks has gone up due the rising cost of… ummm… drinks?

I think it’s lovely that the proprietors of this fine establishment feel such compassion for the incontinent that they post it publicly.

Anglophile is right. It doesn’t take much to get “inconvenience” spell-checked to “incontinent.” I’ve seen documents in the past (from my fearless leaders, of course!) with the same error.
And to raiseyourglass, I just got a coupon at the grocery store checkout for a free Coke Zero. I hate the taste of Splenda more than Aspartame, however, and strongly prefer Tab for that incomparable saccharin taste!

the way that the SORRY is written in red makes you wonder if they really do feel bad for all the incontinent……I wonder if they have ever changed a diaper. Or even worse took 80 year old out for soda? eeeewwww “But Mom there is no public bathroom, I am driving as fast as I can.”

Do you mean to tell me that if those bastards at Coca-Cola would just fix that damn cooler, then I would be able to stop pissing my pants?

What sadistic evil genius is in the business of selling liquor to the incontinent and expressing sympathy for them at the same time?
